Let me elaborate here. First off, take the rumors and give them the boot. Drop them off at your nearest toxic waste areas where they may reside with Uranium- 294 for all I care.

Solely on resolution, what if the next console was actually not 1080p? What if it wasn't even in standard HD (720p)? Would you buy it?If the next console was still 480p, would you buy it anyway?

This question is NOT what you prefer the resolution to be, it's "how low is too low to back out completely?"

"Wiifan001, it's going to be in Hi-Def anyway.The reasons are..."

^Not the response I want to see, nor trying to go with.

I would be very surprised, but it wouldn't be a deal breaker. I don't base my purchases off of resolution.

1080p or it fails

Nintendo knows it can't do it with just games anymore, it's going to need movies and things like that and no one is going to settle for less then 1080p

Considering most games on other platforms are not native to 720p, I'd say 720p is fine and 1080p would be great. I mean just look at a list of games that aren't actually 720p on the other platforms. So, I don't think it matters if its 1080p or not. 720p should be okay.

personally im not too bothered. i have my PC for the HD pretties. as long as its up from 480P SD im happy. i would like 720P to be mandatory though (leave the framerate up to the devs). but its not a deal breaker.

Given that this question is specifically asking about my buying intentions, I don't care. The Wii runs at only 480p and it looks fine to me.

I didn't buy my Wii for the amazing graphics. 720 would be nice, but it's pretty low on my list of "things I want in a Nintendo console."

Resolution isn't that important to me. As long as it is upgraded Technology I don't care. Mainly because 3 out of 4 TVs in my house is SD and the only TV that is HD is a 20 Inch that looks smaller in HD then it does if it was SD.

HD is fine, no need for a 1080p requirement.

This topic can't be serious.. Too many graphic whores.

Anyways, I don't really care what resolution is has. I highly doubt it'll go lower than 480p anyway.

Don't care about the resoultion of a system a lot. The only time I care about the resoultion of something is when a game looks incredibly bad ona system it has been developed on.

The difference between 720 and 1080 is minimal, so I really don't care between the two. I'd much rather developers just focus on the actual graphics and drop the resolution to 720 instead of play games at 1080.

And it's not like resolutions are going to be stuck at one spot. Just like this gen there will be games at both 1080p 1080i and 720p.

I honestly don't care. I am buying it regardless of the resolution, because I trust Nintendo will make a fun system to play.

720p no less, c'mon with all that grunt (if the specs is true) under the hood...1080p would be nice but not required for me.

Well I sti 8ft away from my TV so everything looks fine. that siad they have no excuse for not providing 720p. I think 720p should be find & devs should be free to choose that or something higher, but nothing lower

@ Jaysonguy prepared to be dissapointed. Devs no matter what console will still use 720p since it allows so much graphical headroom. Your in over your head if u think 1080p is gonna become a standard next gen even for MS & Sony. There is no way for consoles to keep up with PC's without sacrificing resolution eventually.

I agree with this Jasonguy, but a question for you alone. Does it need 3D?

I'd be fine with 720p, as like other people have said the PS3 and 360 don't even always have their games at 720p let alone 1080p. Not that I would mind 1080p though. I don't really think there's any chance Nintendo won't do at least 720p by now. They would only do it to be mean. Although it's always possible they will find a way to do 720i, I've never seen anything have that resolution but they might find a way.

720p. I can't even fathom them doing another SD home console. What would be the point of doing that rather than sticking with the Wii? Resolution isn't everything but if they put out an SD console in 2012 it'd be huge red flag for me and I'd worry about what other things they don't care about or are half-assing.

So although you prefer it HD, not having an HD Nintendo console here wouldn't stop you from buying it. If there are things like motion control, online, or something else that concerns you, you'd be with option 4. If nothing stops you from getting the next Ninty console, it would be option 5 for you.

I'll buy it but I will be unhappy if it uses the following

motion controler

no online

3d

touch screen game pad

Even if that happens i trust Nintendo will make great games even if don't like the controls

1080p at least. My computer has parts that are 3 years old and can max anything. I don't want any next-gen console that can't do 1080p. High standards? Maybe. I'd definitely want 720p or 1080p support for Wii games though.

720p is fine, as long as we actually get 720p, none of this Call of Duty/Metal Gear Solid 4/Halo 3 bull**bleep** where they render the game at much lower resolutions and just upscale.

Dear Nintendo,

I just want you to know all the people who say they will buy it even if it isn't HD, they don't speak for me lol.

Seriously, HD or nothing. I mean if its all native 720p, then I'm cool with that. I'd like native 1080p, and I don't think thats asking much being as we're probably getting a 360 equivalent with 8GB flash storage, and probably paying $350 for it too.

Yes, I know none of that is confirmed, it's pretty likely though.

I'm ok with anything above 480p. As I skipped all HD consoles this gen any upgrade will work to me. I'm actually more concerned about other factors like innovation on gameplay, backward compatibility, VC/Wiiware transfer, OS, and, specially, third party support

Of course HD will be very welcome, but it won't be a deal breaker for me if it doesn't have it. I'm not sold on just graphics, its game-quality that gets me and if the next Nintendo Console doesn't pound out 1080P or over then i'm not going to loose any sleep over it.

Not trying to sound like a tech monger but if the N6 isn't at least 720p I will be totally disappointed and will not be purchasing the console at any time. WTF would be the point of having nice new hardware if the damn thing can't display in resolutions that don't take advantage? And this isn't me basing my purchase on a resolution but rather what I am getting for my money. And in the year 2011 not having HD is unacceptable.

@ Jaysonguy prepared to be dissapointed. Devs no matter what console will still use 720p since it allows so much graphical headroom. Your in over your head if u think 1080p is gonna become a standard next gen even for MS & Sony. There is no way for consoles to keep up with PC's without sacrificing resolution eventually.

There are only a very small number of games that are actually native 1080p. Granted they can all be upscaled, but that isn't true 1080p. Considering how many corners most developers cut, I don't see many utilizing 1080p.

Yeah there's only a few dozen right now between retail and digital but that's growing all the time.

I doubt it will get much higher on the current systems since raising the resolution takes resources away from other graphical effects, AI, and all that other stuff. It's easier to do a 720p (or sometimes slightly less) with a smooth fram erate and great effects than a choppier uglier 1080p game. Also you shouldn't always just tell someone there argument is wrong. Many topics aren't right or wrong answers and no one is completely right or wrong. A little debate can be good.

I would never ever make a hardware purchase decision based on resolution. Anyway, I full expect the next console to be 1080 capable but games will be developer in 720p if even that. People can want and plead for a 1080 standard, but its highly unlikely.

That would definitely be future proofing the system. Could anyone even see that resolution on a TV that wasn't as big as a movie screen, assuming they ever even exist?

First; the N6 WILL be HD, no doubt. 720p is fine with me, but i believe it will be mostly 1080p.
